    Perhaps the most gorgeous, addictive and exceptionally challenging rally title ever to hit a home console.

    Its minor control issues notwithstanding, this is the best rally racer available on the PSX -- maybe on any platform.

    In every single way, CMR 2.0 just crushes the competition. Every aspect of the game has been improved upon and is delivered in a top quality product. Codemasters once again has created the best rally game on the planet with Colin McRae Rally 2.0.

    Arcade racing aficionados might be daunted by the learning curve, but sim fans will find enough depth here to keep playing for a long, long time.

    If I had to choose my favourite (realistic) racing game, a couple of weeks ago I would have said Colin McRae but now it's most definitely the sequel.

    The mud, the jumps, the skids, and fun track designs make Colin McRae Rally 2.0 one very enjoyable racing title.
  11. PSX Nation

    It's a testament to the addictive gameplay and perfect control of Colin McRae Rally 2.0 that, despite its dated graphics and average-at-best sounds, it still manages to become the best rally racer on PSX.
  12. Game Revolution

    This is just a smart, well-made racer. Props to Codemasters for putting out the two best rally games ever. If you like video games and have two opposable thumbs, I recommend that you buy this game.
  13. Gaming Maxx

    It's got the greatest rally driver endorsing it, all the cars, absolutely jaw-dropping graphics, realistic handling... but somehow, it just DOESN'T QUITE make it.
  14. GameSpot
    69
    Die-hard fans of the original may feel a twinge of déjà vu when they dig into the update. For everyone else, though, Colin McRae Rally 2.0 represents one of the most solidly addictive racing experiences that money can buy.
